ReceptorsOdorant receptors (ORs) constitute the largest family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), with nearly 400 receptors identified in humans. The “omics” era has revealed an unexpected expression of ORs beyond olfactory tissues.

Identification of PLXDC1 and PLXDC2 as the transmembrane receptors for the multifunctional factor PEDF. [PDF]
, 2014 Pigment Epithelium Derived Factor (PEDF) is a secreted factor that has broad biological activities. It was first identified as a neurotrophic factor and later as the most potent natural antiangiogenic factor, a stem cell niche factor, and an inhibitor of

The ubiquitin kinase PINK1 recruits autophagy receptors to induce mitophagy
Nature, 2015 Protein aggregates and damaged organelles are tagged with ubiquitin chains to trigger selective autophagy. To initiate mitophagy, the ubiquitin kinase PINK1 phosphorylates ubiquitin to activate the ubiquitin ligase parkin, which builds ubiquitin chains ...

Discovery of a receptor related to the galanin receptors [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1999 We report the isolation of a cDNA clone named GPR54, which encodes a novel G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR). A PCR search of rat brain cDNA retrieved a clone partially encoding a GPCR. In a library screening this clone was used to isolate a cDNA with an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a receptor of 396 amino acids long which shared significant ...

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

The Hidden Roles of Receptors in Intercellular Synchronization and Its Mathematical Generality
ReceptorsDictyostelium discoideum (Dicty) is a type of unicellular amoeba, but when starved, a large number of amoebas gather together to form a multicellular organism.

Nature Communications, 2023 Visualizing endogenous GPCRs is challenging. Here the authors generate mice with an enzyme self-label genome-edited into the endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor locus, design fluorescent dyes for specific labelling in complex tissue, and reveal ...

Targeting mGlu5 metabotropic glutamate receptors in the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in a mouse model of phenylketonuria [PDF]
, 2018 We studied group-I metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors in Pah(enu2) (ENU2) mice, which mimic the genetics and neurobiology of human phenylketonuria (PKU), a metabolic disorder characterized, if untreated, by autism, and intellectual disability (ID ...

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2011 The concept of intra-membrane receptor-receptor interactions (RRIs) between different types of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and evidence for their existence was introduced by Agnati and Fuxe in 1980/81 through the biochemical analysis of the effects of neuropeptides on the binding characteristics of monoamine receptors in membrane preparations ...
